NEW ORDER RUBLEVO-USPENSKOE HIGHWAY, 187 MALE, 90

You've accepted the order.

Old pal, what is keeping you here?

Where?! Where's the fucking transition?!

Haven't you figured it out yet?

There is no transition for you! You've chosen it yourself!

You think it's easy for me?

Yes, I can be seen and heard.

But I'm still not there! Do you understand?

I don't... I don't feel anything at all, you know?

Nothing at all! It doesn't even hurt!

I don't feel anything!

I’m sorry.

Please, help me! I can't stand it here anymore! Save me, please!

- Please! - I won't even try.

I only have two passengers left.

I've waited for this for thirty years.

I can't risk it.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sick of you!

You, old wreck!

Did you see that?

Bitches!

Couldn't they have sent a better car?

That's what I have. Sorry.

Your face looks familiar.

Really?

You are... What was it?

Well, start guessing.

Right, you're that director.

Oleg Glebov, right?

Good boy!

You must have been driving a bunch of scumbags before me, right?

I watched all your movies when I was a kid.

Now take the pacifier out of your mouth

and explain me why instead of walking on clouds

I'm stuck here in your car.

My passengers are peoplel who hover in this world.

So I'm a temporary ghost now, am I?

Phantom of the Opera?

Can I scare girls now?

Well, I don't think so. No one can see you. Except for me.

ADD DESTINATION

Think, please. What haven't you done yet in this world?

Didn't have time to consult with a fool like you about the meaning of life.

I didn't come up with this concept, but I understand how you feel.

You don't understand anything! All right!

If this is a scenario, have them call for another ferryman.

You can't have another ferryman, sorry.

I have 15 movies...

in the Golden Cinema Fund.

I have 7 International Awards.

I can' t even count my Soviet prizes.

People loved my movies!

There were kilometer-long lines in front of movie theaters!

I have more honorary titles than a dog got fleas!

What the hell...

Why am I talking to you, little snot.

I haven't seen you in a long time. Why?

Have you been following me?

A long time!

For five years...

I've been out of the deck.

I've changed my underwear for diapers.

I've been staring at an empty wall.

For five years.

My 16th film...

is like a testament to posterity.

It's called "The Chronicle of My Time."

I haven’t seen it.

No one has.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

I fell into the strong embrace of dementia.

I couldn't understand a thing.

Why didn't you stop then?

How can an artist stop?

An artist doesn't stop. That's life.

Awards, titles - it's no fun.

What's fun?

A moment...

A moment of creation.

A moment of the authorship.

When you don't need a thing.

Neither to eat, nor to drink, nor to walk, nothing.

At midnight, you rush to your desk...

to write down the image you just...

This is magic! Sorcery!

And then... And then comes excitement.

When your nightly images come to life on the screen.

When your thoughts are portrayed.

When your pains are shown there.

- I don't understand one thing. - What don't you understand?

Just sit there, turn the steering wheel.

Tell me, please, does a genius have to be like that?

- Like what? - Mean.

I really was always a turd.

It's my temper.

I held the whole crew like this!

I held them like this!

So what? They were patient.

They worked with Glebov.

With the allmighty. Standing next to me.

Breathing the same air.

Let me guess.

You didn't have any family.

That's why you ended up in a nursing home, right?

You're a lousy fortune teller, I'll tell you that.

The women flew to me, like flies on marmalade.

I was married three times to actresses.

I left two wives.

The third wife left me, she died. It's a pity.

Do you have children?

Two daughters.

They’re good daughters. They fight like mongrels...

but they're good.

The first one is babysitting my granddaughter.

The second one is following in my footsteps.

Now she's in charge of a department at the Ministry of Culture.

Oh, they were making me go to doctors for a long time!

Trying to decide which one of them...

would babysit their daddy.

So, that's what this is all about?

Do you feel guilty about leaving your children and your wives?

Well, you did make me want to be candid.

The thing is... in order to...

Adore lovers, to love wives...

To love children...

You've got to have a talent.

That's right.

But He, your superior...

He deprived me of this gift.

Yes.

Now I'm listening to you...

On one hand, you are great and talented.

but on the other hand,

you have rolled over the fates of your loved ones.

That's why you died alone.

I'm not mean. You're mean.

Tanya, my daughter...

She prepared a retrospective for my anniversary...

...at the Сinema House.

She brought an invitation to the head doctor. I saw it.

But this fool...

The esculapian, he threw it in the trash can.

MOVIE THEATER

Where did you bring me?

I just thought that good movies should be seen on the big screen.

Start the car!

But sir, when else would it be?

You, rascal!

Let's go!

MOVIE THEATER

CENTRAL STAGE SPECIAL SCREENING - THE LAKE HOUSE

I just want...

for us to be happy.

For a long time.

Isn't that too much to ask?

No, it's not.

No, it's just right.

I don't expect anything less.

Oh, well.

Tanya, you little fool!

Why did she do it?

Why did she come up with all this? No one needs it now.

You're wrong. There's an audience.

That's a great audience.

He chose the right movie.

Don't be so loud, please. I'm watching it.

I hardly know you, but something has changed in my life.

I love this movie.

Especially your brilliant farewell scene.

Right.

My...

brilliant...

- scene... - I'll wait for you! Come!

At the opera!

Our director's class...

was the strongest at VGIK.

There was a special guy among us...

Georgy. We called him Zhora.

We were all talented there.

But he was special, he was different.

He was...

He saw differently...

With his heart.

With his heart.

Well, he was the first one to do a full length feature.

Yeah. And he went away and he filmed.

He came back from his expedition.

And showed his film.

The whole Arts Council was horrified.

Saying that Soviet people...

Don't need this kind of movies.

The only way to correct it was to re-shoot something.

They asked him to remake, re-edit it. He refused.

That's when they asked me, as a Komsomol member...

to influence the swaggering man.

This arrogant genius.

So I went. I grabbed him and said,

"Zhora! I'm asking you as a friend!

Your fate is at stake! Don't be so foolhardy!

Do as they say!"

He punched me in the face.

Then he left the course at VGIK and that was it.

And then?

What then?

Then we didn't hear from him for a long time.

Anyway, it turned out that he had emigrated to the US.

He was selling second-hand cars.

They say he made good money.

He married an American woman.

So, she took all his money and left him.

And Zora became a drunk and died soon.

He was 38 years old.

You're tired from the road.

Go then.

Before he died, he sent me this postcard.

I haven't been happy for a minute since that day.

So sad.

Well, it is what it is.

Right.

And the film?

You're watching his film.

It's his brilliant farewell scene.

I was appointed the director.

Well, I kind of... did something.

I finished shooting it, remade it.

Thank God!

I didn't mess up...

his material that he brought back from the expedition.

And I'm not the genius.

It's getting cold. Let's go!

Who made this movie?

Some Glebov guy.

Ah, right! I remember his "Moon Serenade." It's a beautiful movie.

Listen, he has tons of great movies.

- Should we go again tomorrow? - Okay.

Did you hear that? Great movies!

So you don't have one, you have a lot of great movies.

- Thank you! - You are at your destination.

You are not going to believe this.

But you should go that way.

- Well, so long! - Goodbye, maestro!

Bye, ferryman!

It's a good movie. Watch it.

Is it a boy or a girl?

It's a boy.

Or a girl. How much is it?

500 rubles.

Hey, old lady!

Are you my last passenger?

I'm not working.

We've got a technical break.

Is there anything I can do to help?

I don't think so.

They say I've got the touch.

You got that right.

Come on! Go!
